Bust—it's a word with a negative connotation.
That's even truer in sports, as the term "bust" sticks with a player throughout his career. Over the next few slides, we'll identify our all-bust team filled with free agents that could potentially flop next season.
By sifting through stats, we can see trends that are developing during a player's career. Home runs, RBI and ERA are nice, but they don't always tell the entire story.
Take Matt Wieters for example. He may be the only viable free-agent catcher available, but can a team really justify signing a player with such an eye-opening injury history? Yoenis Cespedes can be a difference-maker too, but is he really worth upward of $150 million?
Those are just a few of the players we'll touch on over the course of this slideshow. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments section below. Would you be content with your team signing any of these players for next season?
Teams that get it right in free agency are already one step ahead for the upcoming season. Let's dive into some names that teams with desperate needs should stay away from.
